RADICAL HOPE IS BACK THIS JUNE 🌍🌸 Our annual Eco Fest is coming soon, and we don’t want you to miss out!
Last year was incredible: a day filled with live music, creative workshops, environmental talks, food, and so much more!
📅 Add Sat 27th June to your calendars and share with a friend.
📍 Make sure you’re local on the day – we’ll be at Museum Square on New Walk (Leicester)
More details to follow! 🔥

We're getting Riverside Ready! ☀️
Acoustic Hour is on this Friday at 2pm, and our headliners (plus one more artist 👀) will be giving you a show before the show.
We're so excited, and it’s looking to be a sunny day too! We'll probably be right out at the front, enjoying the sun and some smooth tunes.
Catch you there! 👋🎙️
Stay tuned... more details for our Riverside Festival slot are coming soon! 🌊✨
Monday evenings look a little different around here 🔥
Just a casual glimpse into what happens when you give Leicester’s finest young creatives the mic at Soft Touch Studios. Honestly, we’re just glad we get front-row seats.

Our knight in cardboard armour found its way to Leicester Guildhall over the weekend! ⚔️
Young people from across our various projects came together to create these cardboard masterpieces, which were originally displayed in our cafe and exhibition space. But last Saturday, their work traveled through time at Leicester’s Old Town Festival!
Huge thanks to @visitleicester for making this happen.

Acoustic Hour, but make it outdoors 👏
Missing out on the sunshine last week is one thing, but missing these performances?
Better luck next time! 🤪
We had a wonderful blend of indie music, rap, and poetry.
Loving the variety of sounds & speech at the moment!
If you'd like to perform at the next one (and hopefully get some nice weather again 🤞), fill out the form in our bio!
Song by SirMist
A very jazzy original by Grace ✨
Live music + lunch plans? Say less.
Join us for Acoustic Hour
📅 Friday 24th April
⏰ 2PM
Smooth sets from Leicester’s rising young artists 🔥
See you there!
Song: "Anything But Love" by @gracewwmusic
Some energy for you during the midweek slump 🤣
Still enjoying the vibes from our showcase at Highcross a few weeks ago!
Check out the pages below to see how the day panned out 👇

Singing & spoken word? Stephanōs killed it 👏
Music is so much more than a hobby, it opens doors & provides opportunities to share stories in ways that speaking can't.
MASSIVE well done to everyone who performed at Beat The Odds at Highcross a couple of weeks ago!
